version stinks. Not only is only one timer implemented,
also the timers do not function well at all settings.
getitimer is also badly implemented.
I've submitted new versions of the sources, and I hope they'll
be in future versions. 
If you can figure out what their status is, you might either
be able to get a full new version of the library, or I might
give you some patches.
